Movie Sabbatical

I think I saw the last movie Severance...about two months ago. Early June.

Two reasons for this:

1. Crap movies have been out
2. I just can't justify spending money on a movie that I don't REALLY want to see.

Reviews will resume once the good movies return.

Summers suck for the types of movies that I like. They are usually full of crappy blockbuster-type movies that are allllll special effects and poor dialogue.

I shall return in due time.

Severance

Rating: 5/10

I won these tickets on www.cinemaclock.com...and had no idea what this film was about.

The tag line said: "Another bloody office outing."

I assumed that since it was an English film, "bloody" meant stupid, not as in blood from a wound.

The movie was messed up. Basically it was a bunch of coworkers who were on this retreat...but were abandoned by the bus driver who refused to go past a certain point on the route. They found an old, abandoned house and were stalked by army-type soldiers and killed off one by one. It wasn't until maybe 75% through the movie that the campiness surfaced. Up until that point it was just bad. Once the campiness started, I laughed my head off. I just don't understand why it took that long to come out.....usually it's pretty immediate. I didn't know what to make of the movie until that point.

Thank goodness it was free. I had popcorn and a cherry slushy so it wasn't a total waste.
